BBS's!!
Or BBS Split Rims.
Genuine Alpinas are nice too.
Hmmmm.
So much choice.
I really liked Momo GT's on my mates old M-Tech I Sport....

Alpina reps for me, as 16's look to small.
Only thing i hate about 17's is the ride, but 15's just dont have the impact.
I also love those wheels Nadz was selling, i think they were Borbets A's, 9x16", or something like that, i love them too.

BBS splits
Alpinas and normal BBS's look cool as well!

Borbet A's are nice as well, but IMO they only suit M-Tech II cars.

I would love a set of BBS split rims one day, they are the nuts, but I could never sell the AZEV A's they look awesome and it's the one alloy I always wanted to get, on my second set now
Mmmmmmm
So much choice, it is a hard decision....But good luck, the first choice is normally the right one

Pal318is - how much did your azev`s cost you mate if you don`t mind me asking.
i have the 15" bbs, but i`m after 17`s now really as 15`s are small by todays standards

Original Alpina 16s for looks but BBS 15s for handling and ride although they don't look bad either.

I paid Ԛ£330 for the alloys with tyres and there absolutely mint, mind you I did have to travel up to north yorks to get them and seeing as I live in Bedford, it was a bit of a trip. I did the deal over the phone without seeing the Alloys, but the chap sounded genuine so I thought, why not.A1BMW325iSport wrote:Pal318is - how much did your azev`s cost you mate if you don`t mind me asking.

Didn't they rub a little on the arches?
Are these the ones you mean?AdelaideE30 wrote:AC Schnitzer made a nice 4 stud rim for the E30. Don't see too many pics of them on cars much though now...

They're nice, but 17" Azev A's (with the flat centre caps!) have to be the ultimate wheel for me

Prophecy...this very afternoon I stuffed a kerb at low speed dodging a dodgily-manouvered superbike. As it was I just smiled at the guy who caused my sudden swerve, laughed and carried on. Good job I didn't have the 'pinas/BBSRS/RonalTurbo/whateva/ that I want, other wiseHotboxDeluxe wrote:Yay for bottletops!![]()

will get em eventually.... but i currentlly have e30 m3 stock 15s going on...lack of funds u see as 16s are pricey as fook. may get those ones on ebay though but those are not proper e30 m3 ones...Ziggy wrote:16" BBS like Karan's gonna have with his m3 setup
Doesn't help much for normal 4 lug people though!
as for 4 lug e30s..... BBS is the only way, be it stock 15s, or bbs rs 15 or 16
personally not an alpina or hartge fan when it comes to wheels
anything with a dish and many spokes and im happy
gotta love 3 spokes too (on the rear only)

Real 16" Pinas if u can find a set or otherwise 15" BBS, it depends a lot on what sorta kit youve got packing on ur car mind u....
